This was a replacement for a Homelite mower whose motor quit after 6 years, and for which parts were no longer made!? It seemed to be very close to the same design, which I liked. Shipping was fantastic; Assembly was easy; Everything worked great for two passes on my lawn. THEN, every little bump would cause the mower deck to fall to the lowest cutting height, scalping the lawn. After fighting it for an entire mowing cycle, I diagnosed the problem as not enough tension on the mowing adjustment lever causing it to slip out of the selected height slot whenever I hit a bump in the yard. I was unable to do a complete fix as the lever is RIVETED rather than simply bolted to the linkage, but by inserting a large, fat washer into the lever connection I was able to wedge it out enough to apply more pressure and keep the lever in the selected slot. So far it's worked fine on two subsequent mowings, but in my opinion was something that the QA folks should never have let pass.

After seven years of weekely use in grass season, the plastic housing submited to vibration and the motor mounts failed. When we checked it the fan assembly was also cracked. We had never had any maintenace, it wasn't unreasonable. Got our money's worth. Used it as a mulching mower on Centipede grass.

Need to mow slowly to cut all the grass. It does mulch really well. Maintainng cord not to get into the cutting path is like another job. But, having cord is more environmentally friendly compared to gas and not worrying about running out of battery charge.

New Vs. Reconditioned

What's the difference between New and Factory-Reconditioned?

Factory-Reconditioned products have been returned to the manufacturer and are restored to like-new operating condition; they go through a rigorous testing and inspection process. Plus, they offer a significant savings vs. new.

Reconditioned products may have minor cosmetic blemishes or scratches that do not affect item performance.

Reconditioned products may not come with all of the consumables the new version comes with (bits, sanding pads/papers, cases, etc.).

Both come with a manufacturer warranty and are covered by our Money Back Guarantee; New is 30 days, Reconditioned is 60 days.
